About Col

In geomorphology, a col is the lowest point on a mountain ridge situated between two peaks, often referred to as a gap or pass. These features can be rugged and challenging, sometimes termed notches, and while they are generally unsuitable for regular mountain passes, they may be traversed by mule tracks or climbing routes. The term originates from the French word "col," which means "neck," and is primarily associated with mountain ranges rather than hills, with distinctions such as saddle or wind gap varying by locale.
